Rob Pattinson is quickly learning the hazards of filming a movie in New York City - he was hit by a taxi cab on Thursday while running away from hysterical fans!

RadarOnline.com witnessed the Twilight star get clipped by a cab around noon in front of the Strand Bookstore on Broadway and 12th Street.

He was not hurt.

The 23-year-old London-born actor had been inside most of the morning filming scenes for his new movie Remember Me.

A team of five security guards were trying to fend off a crowd of teenaged girls when Rob was leaving the bookstore.

It was pouring rain as they tried to hustle him quickly across the busy street to the safety of his trailer.

Some of the teen girls were hysterical and Rob rushed across the road. As he did so, a taxi grazed him. The cabbie slammed on his brakes as soon as he realized what had happened.

It appeared as if the cab hit Rob in the hip. He stood there for a moment looking stunned. The bodyguard next to him checked if he was okay and then screamed at the fans: "You see what you did, you almost killed him!"

Gozde: This is seriously getting out of hand and is why I don't post set locations, so please stop sending me emails asking how to find Rob. I'll never answer. Everyone thinks "others" are crazy.

After the info we've been getting it sounds like a minor incident was blown way out of proportion. BUT it COULD have been a disaster and that should worry us all.

I'm about to make a "Leave Rob Alone" video a la Chris Crocker but I'm not that crazy. Just pissed off!

UPDATE: Despite the fact that Robert Pattinson was supposedly hit by a cab running from insane stalkers, not to mention that alarming security breach that left Pattz straight-up vulnerable to the crazy fans, Summit, the studio Rob's currently working for while filming Remember Me in New York, reveals it isn't overly worried. A spokesperson for the studio states:

"Robert Pattinson is fine. The reports are exaggerated, and the accident was not caused by fans. Production continues."

The Summit rep refused to say what did cause the cabbie accident, or whether or not additional precautions were being taken for Pattinson. Jeez, why the hell not? But first, a disclaimer: Sources where Rob was filming, as well as bystanders, tell us they did not see the accident. Remember, Radar also "broke" that Kristen Stewart's boyfriend was chasing her around Italy (uh, didn't happen).

Now, back to R.Pattz's safety. What say you Summit insiders?

"We're taking it as it unfolds," says a source deep within Summit, who, for the moment, declined to release any official statement on Pattinson's personal safety during filming. "Security has been increased," adds our in-the-know insider. "But there's no grand plan."

What! Are you kidding? The most sought-after star in the whole friggin' world right now just seems a little too accessible, don't you think? Plus, we're told Summit isn't exactly keen on addressing the incidents, as it doesn't want to exacerbate the situation. Nor is it revealing, at this point, exactly what its "increased" protection game plan happens to be. Dunno ‘bout you, but "taking it as it unfolds" seems to be asking for super trouble to us.

I mean, what's next? Getting hit by a bus? And what if some nut job gets all Lohan-on-Ronson stalk-stupid after Rob's cute little behind?

How crappy that studio peeps try to control who their stars can and can't bed, but at the same time, can't control their stars' safety? Not cool.

The bad news first: RadarOnline.com is reporting that Robert Pattinson was hit by a taxi cab in NYC today while running away from hysterical fans.

The good news: The Remember Me star is totally fine, and sources tell OK! he wasn't actually touched by the car.

R-Pattz had his close call around noon outside a shooting location for his new flick, as a crowd of hysterical teenage girls swarmed him on his way out of a store.

Security guards tried to help him, hustling him across the street to his trailer, but the taxi grazed past him as he crossed the street, slamming on the brakes.

"The cab didn't hit him. It came close, but it's New York, that's what happens," an on-set source tells OK!. "It barely touched him. He maybe put his hand on the cab but he's fine. They all just went to lunch."

One of his bodyguards made sure there was no bodily harm done to Rob first, then screamed at the girls, "You see what you did, you almost killed him!"

Let that be a lesson to you, obsessed Twilight fanatics: We know you love R-Pattz, we love him too, he knows you love him, so let's give him some breathing room and keep him safe.

Everyone was waiting outside for Rob. At this time there were only about 5 or 6 fans and one paparazzi. Rob came out and as usual he had his hood up, was covered by an umbrella, and surrounded by about 6 guards. The girls were all following behind Rob and because of the commotion, a few people on the streets may have also been following or looking. NO ONE even tried to touch Rob, & from what I could tell, no one was even snapping pictures in his face except for this one paparazzi who had been hanging around outside the building all day. He was crouching on the ground snapping pictures behind Rob's umbrella, Rob was hiding his face. Some of the security guards were moving very quickly, causing their little circle that was protecting Rob to break up. Soon one guard was guiding Rob by the shoudlers and led him across a street where there was a red light and moving traffic. I was right behind him at this point and saw the entire thing happen. The cab was coming quickly but saw them jump in front of it, so the cabbie slammed on his breaks. Rob was tapped a little in the hip, but they kept going. Rob then went into his trailer. The security guards were yelling at everyone and saying everyone was chasing him, but really no one even tried to touch him and there were honestly about 10 people absolute maximum trying to see him. Then the guards also made the fans move away from the trailer but let that obnoxious paparazzi stand outside of his trailer so he could snap pix the next time Rob came out. Its unfair that these people would blame the fans outside. First of all, there were only about 6 girls and none were crazy teenagers. No one yelled to him or tried to touch him at all. The security guard apologized afterwards for flipping out, he said that they were just trying to be overly cautious after Monday's fan incident.

1. These little twihard/fangirls need to stop. This is totally out of control at this point. If they were true fans, they wouldn't behave this way AT ALL. I vote for padded cell and meds STAT for all these little bitches.

2. His security-or lack there of-is ridiculous. I just cannot believe that with all the attention he has been getting over the past several months he doesn't have better security.

This whole thing just baffles me. Not sure how entirely true it is but STILL. I pray that nothing horrible happens to him while filming this flick.

I hope this isn't true, but I also just died a little on the inside. I was getting really excited to go NYC and hopefully catch a glimpse.. but now I don't want to just because I want Rob to be left alone. I'm so angry! Love you Rob :-(

Oh no! Whether it's true or not, things are getting WAY out of hand! Those dimwits up there in NYC that keep stalking and mobbing him don't realize this is making him nuts and paranoid and he may do something terrible like go into hiding! NO, PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN,we need our RobbieBoy to feel safe and protected, and we don't want him to fade away from us!Robsessers: we need to say to Rob, "we feel very protective of you" and do something about it. What can we do?????? I'm really worried for him!!

oh seriously they have gone too far its so sick and crazy and it makes me angry and sad at the same time they cant leave him alone, it was so fine with him under the weekend before they started to shoot and now its gone mad and over line why the fuck cant they leave him alone?

I'm so sad right now that it's come to this - He loves reading and can't shop safely in a bloody bookstore anymore. What a few days Rob has had! I bet he's shaken and I am ashamed of the fans for this psycho, adrenaline, hormone filled act of stupidity. LEAVE HIM ALONE! I wouldnt care if i never saw another photo of him until he had finished filming if it meant he wasn't stalked to within an inch of his life!

You see, this is the reason I don't call myself a "fan" of his. The word fan comes from the word "fanatic" defined as "a person motivated by irrational enthusiasm". I like to consider myself a rational human being. Do you think those rabid fans would finally be satisfied if they really do get him injured/killed?

I'm already sick today but I think just got sicker. I feel so helpless being so close and unable to do anything!

And how the hell did that I miss that?! I really hope that's not true, I was standing outside my office building for a smoke around noon, it was pouring and I didn't see any commotion or fangirls. Went into the store at about 1:30 and it looked like they had moved on way earlier...I really hope someone is exaggerating or making this up! That's just not cool.

Mmmmmm.... fans are getting out of hand (we sadly saw this on monday) and I have the feeling that reports by gossip press are getting out of hand, this is serious accusation of what could had been an accident, I really hope this is invented sh*t.Because if this is true, then this is seriously F*cked up.

OMG...this is the last straw. Is this what it's going to take to get these stalkers to realize what they're doing? If this account is true, Rob HAD plenty of security but darted out into traffic to get away from these nut jobs. I am horrified ad this. It was bad enough that those chicks attacked him on Monday, but this is just the outer limit. I'm always freaking out that something bad is going to happen to Rob---I think I'm as paranoid as he is! And now I'm starting to think it's for good reason.

seriously leave him alone. dont follow him, dont scream at him like you are some kind of retarded, if they film-take a picture post it on your site and tell everyone how lucky you ve been to see him. thats enough, thats all you will ever get.

I'VE FUCKING HAD IT WITH TWITS WHO SEEM TO THINK THAT THEY CAN ACCOST HIM IN SUCH A MANNER THAT IT BECOMES A THREAT TO HIS PERSONAL SAFETY!

I'm serious...if anyone here ever harbors any type of delusion that throwing yourself at him will make him fall madly in love with you....you better leave now because you will have a bunch of seriously pissed off women willing to hunt you down....

I hope this story isn't true (like the one that said he was hit in the head by a metal pole)because this poor guy is going to have a nervous breakdown soon. if it is true, I don't think you can get hit by a car & be totally uninjured, I'm sure he's going to have some serious bruising at minimum & must be totally freaked out.

WTF! I am seriously pissed and feel like running downtown and bitchslapping some of these retards. Glad he's safe, but he could have been seriously hurt. NY cabbies are aggressive. This is really making me sick now. Now I'm constantly worried for his safety. SUMMIT, PROTECT ROB!

Now I can't wait for him to done with filming so he can return to safety.

It's raining cats and dogs here today and crazed at work. Now I'm really in a bitchy mood!

Seriously, we arent going to get any of that, so back to reality...DONT TOUCH, DONT TRY TO TOUCH, PEOPLE, WE MAKE ROBERT CRINGE!

The fantasy is only in our heads... Dude must feel like he's getting raped, a thousand times a day. REALITY CHECK!!!!

SO I THINK WE SHOULD START A GROUP IN EVERY CITY, WE SHOULD HAVE WOMEN WHO WEAR 'ROB SQUAD' T-SHIRTS. AND THESE MEMBERS, WOULD BE TASKED TO RUN INTERFERENCE EVERYTIME, NUTTY WOMEN MESS WITH OUR 'MOVIE STAR'...

I'm always prayin' hard for Robbie. I have irrational fears about his safety that I won't go into. I'm going to try not to borrow trouble and hope that, as are most reports concerning Rob, this one is greatly exaggerated.

People, this is ridiculous! Five bodyguards and he STILL almost gets run over??? I'm disgusted by this. SUMMIT, STEP UP YOUR GAME. And to the fangirls out there--seriously, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU??? He's a human being! Show some decency, self-respect, restraint!

YES ! Instead of Team Edward :) oh id love to be part of it. i think the bodyguards are afraid they hurt the girls if they act to aggressivly...We should also take some kind of ( dont know the words im german ) microphone and yell at them everytime they act like that.

Win, I am sad for you too, and Jane...I hope Jane's right and nothing happened. Idiots like these fangurls ruin it for decent Rob fans like you two. I'm glad you both got to see him though befor all the madness started. Didn't take long, did it?

Win, I know! I feel sick! I feel helpless! I feel ashamed that this is happening in our city! I want to do something!!! This must've happened one block away from me and I feel like I should've been there taking them down or diverting them or something!

I know that RPattz News just confirmed the incident but part of me still thinks it might've been dramatized somewhat. There were trucks and trailers on both sides of the not very wide street this morning and with all the rain, the cars were all moving at slow speed.

We need to blast Summit bad. They are truly effin morons. What the hell are those twats doing?@? They need to be flooded with emails: get him real security!! Why wasn't Grabby btwn him and that cab!? And keep the damn set closed.

Liza, what does voting for him in a poll have anything to do with it? I'm not trying to flame you, but I think people just not acting like asstards is probably a better start. Not to mention, Summit needs to do a better job of making sure he's kept safe. Does this shit happen to George Clooney or Brad Pitt? Um, fuck no. They have better security. If the suits at Summit had any brains, they'd protect their most valuable commodity. I had to put it in terms that harsh, but that's what he is to them. They're just idiots.

Judging by the new tweets Goz just posted - it sounds like there weren't that many fans there, just paps taking pics. Security rushed him into the street - which makes sense, cause I can't believe he would just rush out into oncoming traffic.

Holy crap, they still had the umbrella over Rob, so of course he couldn't see where he was going...what is wrong with these security people?

Even if this incident wasn't serious, what about next time? And there will be a next time. What's it going to take for A) Summit to get their shit together and B) stalkers to realize that they don't just ruin Rob's quality of life, they might actually do him real harm???

I have to go back to work...good thing, I need to get my shit together, I'm just....grrrrrrr.

Summit needs to hire REAL security for him to surround him when he's on set (and if needed, off set as well)! I saw a pic of his "security" and, without a doubt, one of them was also the "boom" holder during filming. WTF??!! Summit seems to be so damn cheap and greedy that they won't HIRE REAL security for him.

If they did - the cab would have hit a security guy, NOT ROB! since he should be SURROUNDED!

The paps and fans can be blamed but that changes nothing. There will always be stalkers trying to advance on celebs. Other famous celebs have SECURITY to PROTECT them! Fans, stalkers, will never change and it would be unrealistic to think that they will. Famous actors and musicians deal with this all the time but their paycheck signers PROTECT them, they protect their bread and butter. Summit sucks. And they're obviously cheap, as well. Stupid idiots, i say.

Summit needs to surround Rob with real security so that a cab would have to go through them to hit Rob.

This pisses me off to no end. i can't believe this BS. Summit can shove that umbrella right up their ASS!!

In response to:Lizalou said... Just a word of advice and you can flame me all you want: STOP voting for him in all of these silly polls and worrying about the KStew rumors and giving the gossip rags hits.

If he's going to be big, let him do it on his own merit - not because he's VF's most handsome man in the world and took his shirt off in Italy.

He needs this damned frenzy to die down a bit so that he can have some peace and quiet and time to clear his head and work on his craft.

-She said exactly what I have been thinking all along. We are part of the problem. Let him do his thing on his own. We all seem to think that everyone else is crazy, maybe we should all step back and step away. Admire his work when it is released and that is that.

I am speechless! Can't believe... Twitters say that he is fine but still..Come on guys, what the hell are you doing to him, to us?!About pictures, well I don't know if I wanna see them...That would be tough...On other hand that would be a confirmation that he is okay...

The madness just gets even more insane. I know he's okay and wasnt hurt etc, but what about next time? What the hell is wrong with people? This guy cant get a break for 5 minutes without being hounded by fans or paps. I wish people would just leave him be, things have gone way too far now. And what the heck is up with his security team? Somethings got to give.

Although I am really glad that Rob was not injured (and he IS fine, hello!) I find it pretty disturbing that the hysteria surrounding him has reached this dangerous level. I really hope nothing worse happens.

Sign me up for the RPattz Fangurl Beat-down Squad AND the Robsessional Guard too! We've got to protect him. Everyone e-mail Summit to close the set down and maybe twitter it also, maybe this will help. who knows?

AND - if it's the security then they really do need to be fired. I was thinking yesterday how trusting he must be to allow himself to be led blind through the streets of New York. And watching that video where the pap said the crew allowed them to film between takes. It seems the crew and security don't really respect him as a person or don't respect their job at the very least. I don't like that at all.

I am so relieved the eye witness confirms he was only grazed, but I am still sick to my stomach over this. I have known 2 people who stepped off curbs in NYC to be plowed down and killed by cars. It happens in the bat of an eye, and far more often than we'd like to think. All urban sets are dangerous, but good security takes most of the threat away. SUMMIT ARE ASSTARDS and we need to make that known to them loud and clear!

I wouldn't be surprised if he's looking up therapists at this moment! His poor hip! His poor sanity!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ALMOST DIED!

WHAT WERE THOSE 'BODYGUARDS" DOING?! THERE WERE FIVE OF THEM AND THEY COULDN'T EVEN SEE WHERE THEY'RE TAKING HIM?!

Goz, we should make a petition of getting the Cannes body guards to protect him. At least they can carry him protectively wherever he has to go. And also, WTF were those people thinking putting Robbie's trailer away from set that he has to walk A MILE just to work?!?!

this is a terrible shame... it was bound to happen with people under and over reacting.... If it weren't for over zealous fans and paps his body guards wouldn't have been rushing him blindly into oncoming traffic. I'm pleased to hear he was uninjured but this nonsense has to stop.Do we really care about having photos every day from a location??? Do we really care about finding out where he's filming?? If you answered yes then there is something seriously disturbed about you.This is definitely something he should be worried about from now on. Why is this set not locked down like New Moon's set? I think it definitely should be. I hate that something drastic always has to occur for anyone to take action! Reactive care is not as good or strong as Proactive!!!! SUMMIT needs to wake up! <----- think this incident may have just it!

I see people stating that "he's ok" "not hurt" and that it should be a relief and not to get carried away ...

BUT...

don't you recall Rob stating he's used up all his luck and how paranoid he is that he's gonna die young? I know, i know...BUT i have the feeling that this probably freaked him out a bit. i don't know how many times i've heard him worry about getting stabbed in a crowd and different varieties of awful scenarios. he's not really made for all this attention and he may have just been "clipped by a cab" but WHAT IS GOING ON IN HIS HEAD RIGHT NOW?

that is my worry. i hope he has learned some good coping skills cuz it looks like he's gonna need them.

Rob could have been the one to freak out and run across because of the last incident on monday when the girls attacked him. we have all heard what he has said about being around screaming girls and the pappz to top it off. we all dont know exactly what happened. but agree with whoever said that i hope he got to call him mom to tell her that he is ok because his is all over the internet right now.

I'm getting more pissed off by the second! Have you guys seen what Summit said?

A spokesperson for the studio states:

"Robert Pattinson is fine. The reports are exaggerated, and the accident was not caused by fans. Production continues."

"We're taking it as it unfolds," says a source deep within Summit, who, for the moment, declined to release any official statement on Pattinson's personal safety during filming. "Security has been increased," adds our in-the-know insider. "But there's no grand plan."

LovetheLips - yeah, if it happened where I think it happened, but I'm just guessing from the reports. My office building is on a main artery, couldn't have been on that street 'cuz no trailers were parked there. Either way, someone should've been shielding him on both sides esp if they were going to jaywalk against the light!

taking his sight by covering him with an umbrella and then leading him into traffic...my head is going to explode, how can anyone on the planet be SOOOOOO stupid?You earned millions with Twilight and the upcoming films, there must be some money for a better security team...

my person stated it was more of a paps issue (not crazed fan) and that his security "led" him into the street (rob was under hood and umbrella and could not see where he was walking.. he is just being led around)

this is so stupid. its nyc its hard to go there and NOT get clipped by a cab. if you walk in the street without looking ur gunna get hit. yes the fan girls are nuts and shouldnt be chasing him but i cant even tell you the amount of times ive been cliped by a cab in nyc.

its nyc, he was bound to get hit. if you dont look before you step in the street its not if but when your gunna get it. yes the fan girls are nuts and shouldnt be stalking him but its nyc!! i cant even tell you how many times ive been cliped by a cab. its not that big a deal- hes fine, it happens ALL the time.

Well, since they had an eye witness, how could they get the info SO WRONG?!

the media is trying to stir things up, let's not play their game! They want to make us believe that summit and the fans did not "learn" from monday's event, and I don't believe it. The situation was completely managable, and they are trying to make everyone become paranoid and worried -_-.

First of all, I mean absolutely no offense to the Twilight fans or Twihard is it? But I think the whole Twilight thing is largely responsible for what has happened to RP. I feel that his decision to do the whole book series will cause him not only his sanity but also a bit of set back in his reach to became a critically-acclaimed actor. Yes, no doubt that it was Twilight that put him on the map, but I think it would be better for him if he'd just stopped after the first one.

I hope I don't get blasted for this, because I'm not belittling what happened in any way, but it sounds like it's been blown out of proportion by the media and sensationalized. They want to work the fans into a frenzy, and IMO, that's just as sick as what those girls did the other day.

I'm sorry, but all these campaigns/contacting are feeding the machine. You're solidifying to Summit that you follow everything that happens to him and giving them reason to pimp him out more. I know you mean well, I'm just not sure it will help.

I would love to know the details on this. Don't flame me, but how do we know security wasn't just rushing him cause they were in a hurry and they just plain screwed up, regardless of the fans/pap there?

Stacy says- "I hope I don't get blasted for this, because I'm not belittling what happened in any way, but it sounds like it's been blown out of proportion by the media and sensationalized. They want to work the fans into a frenzy, and IMO, that's just as sick as what those girls did the other day."

Stacy - I agree with you wholeheartedly. I don't want to feed the flames, either. It burns me up that the media sensationalizes everything for their own interests and it is in fact them that perpetuates it to begin with. Also, everyone seems to believe that Summit is the production company on this and are making them the bad guys. Don't even bother to do their homework on that little fact. The people here did that work. That is why I only read this site for my obsession and usually don't comment at all. At least there are some sane and responsible Pattinson fans.

Hm, I'll bet there IS a video, and some opportunistic paparazzo is selling it to the highest bidder as we speak. Did I see somewhere Rob was going into The Strand? Isn't that like an amazing used book store? I don't know much about movie set permits, but I suspect they can't block off access to stores. Rob probably just wanted to browse the books, poor man.

I would imagine that it is the Production Company's responsibility to provide the security. And the crew would absolutely be on the Production Company payroll. So I am thinking that Summit is not the correct company to contact about this, it would be Underground Film. I would imagine that Summit has a stake in making sure he is well protected also, due to being the distributor on this film and the production co. of the three remaining twilight films. But Underground should be who people are complaining to - I think, not sure though.

I completely agree with you stacy/KL/janehofstra, while I am concerned by Rob's security, I don't want to be manipulated by the media into an anti-crazy-twilighters nor an anti-summit campaign.

I hope that things will calm down and that they will be able to continue their work in peace.

And if this very unfortunate event can bring something positive: it could be that almost no fans show up on the set anymore so that only the papz are left to be dealt with, and so that the crew can work in peace.

I am sick of these incompetent "bodyguards"! The purpose of them is to guard HIS body with THEIRS. Yet all they seem to do is put out a hand now and then like a school crossing guard. How could those crazy women grab him? The guards should have stepped in the way so they couldn't. How do they let a cab hit him? Their bodies should have been in between his and the stupid cab! Summit, pay some REAL security, not just some big fat guys. I am furious!

Okay, I said this already a few days ago and maybe you call me parnoid but I think this all (not the accident of today but the whole situation) does happen a little bit on purpose. I think, all this exitement and craziness is hyped intentionally by Summit.

I mean, they really seem to "invite" both the paparazzi and the so called fans to the shooting location in not cutting off the area and with this wanna be BGs, who not only poorly protected Rob during this horrible incident on Monday, they also did not interfere filming of it!

Summit surely doesn't complain about the publicity this movie gets already during filming. I'm sure, they don't want Rob hurt (hopefully not only because he brings a lot of money) but they definitely love the attention he attracts!

KL- That's exactly what I was thinking about the production company as well.

One thing on the security issue: even if the girls were swarming/freaking out like some media outlets are saying, what make more sense? Security surrounding and not letting the girls get to him, or just rushing into traffic. I mean, who's going to do the most bodily harm? Again, whatever the reason, huge fail by security.

I just read about this on another site. I was beginning to get upset and a few tears fell. But now I see it's not that bad. Thank God he didn't get hurt. But that stupid ass bodyguard should be fired for putting his life in danger.

I most definitely will be doing some emailing to that production company and to Summit.

Lets not stand for Rob being the next Princess Diane. I am so serious about this shit. It's time to unite because without us backing these films there is no Summit or Underground Films and Management. FUCKERS!!!!!

seriously just cause nothing bad happened doesn't mean it's not a big deal,cause it is,next time it could be worse and then what? better take precaution than deal with the aftermath of disregarding such problem.

i almost had a heart attack when i saw this on nmm.org and then i logged on here to see the full story with updates

this is ridiculous and getting out of hand. SUMMIT Ent. as a whole must be total imbeciles if they don't realize the extent to which they need to protect Rob not just from rabid crazies called "fans" but also from the stalkerpaps.

regardless of whether this was blown out of proportion, fact is Rob's security detail obv. is NOT HELPING any matters.

Don't have time to read all the comments, just to leave one. Gotta admit, when I came on here and saw this, my stomach lurched. Whether this is true or not (and I'm thinking it is), if that cab had been going just 5 miles faster, it would have done more than just clipped him. It would have taken him to the ground and he could be at this very moment, in an emergency room with a serious injury. A mobbing by fans and a just missed run over by a cab AND were not even through the first week of filming. What is Summit waiting for before they step in and REALLY protect this kid? And they've got to do it because you cannot close down New York City.

I've got so much to say on this subject (and the paranoia and him going AWOL...which at one point, I believe he will), but you just haven't got enough bandwith to contain it. Not that it matters what I or any of us have got to say anyway. Sorry. I'm a bit down at the moment. Make that...scared.

Oh. And don't discount Ted Casablancas. He's been in this business a loooong time. He's got DEEP sources everywhere and he's got a reputation to uphold. I'm not saying that he's accurate 100% of the time (no one is), but he's no 'internet upstart' like Lainey. He's a pro.

And just for the record, I've never paid much attention to the Rob/Kristen rumours because, I really don't care. But we all know there was a spark between them that ignited the night they met and was then subsequently captured on film. And there was something different about the night of the MTV Awards. Where was Nikki? Where was Michael? And why would Kristen spend the night at the same hotel as Rob when she lives right there in Los Angeles? And why was her mother there to say goodbye to him the next morning? That's a bit 'intimate' for "just" co-stars.

I'm not saying they're together. I'm saying that for someone who doesn't pay much attention to this shit, I felt 'something' had changed. And do not discount Ted. He knows his shit and has for years.

And it makes perfect sense that Summit would want to keep these two apart. Remember, they're masters of marketing and they'll sell more movie tickets if they can keep the public guessing as to the nature of Rob and Kristen's true relationship rather than just come out and say...yeah, they're together. Alot of fans (who actually think they've got a shot at him), will lose interest once he gets himself a girlfriend. Especially Kristen who is despised by so many of them. I've already read such comments. Nope. Summit wants to keep their 'golden goose' single in order to fan the flames of fantasy.

Sorry for going off topic here, but I've wanted to address this for some time and truthfully, I don't want to write or even think about Rob getting hurt. I've had a bad feeling about just such a thing for a very long time now. From the day I first met him.

Again sorry. Just wanted to distract myself from what's really on my mind.

"Yes, I heard the same thing. It's been pouring down raining it the northeast today and I heard they were trying to get him out of the rain. IDK if it's true but that sounds more likely...so yes I believe this has been exaggerated."

It's looking more and more like security may have just been in a hurry and made a huge mistake. Either they are trying to use the fan issue as a scapegoat or the media is doing that for them. Either way, they fucked up big time and if they're going to be responsible for his safety and shove an umbrella over his eyes, they damn well better look both ways before crossing a NYC street!

Perhaps 1 body guard made a poor decision, but the quality of his training should be better. Underground Prod may provide the security, but they answer to Summit. The buck stops at the top of the chain of command!

Here are some Summit contacts if anyone wants to share their thoughts with Rob's "employers"!

I with Monika on this. You can not sit back and say well were feeding into the frenzy and the media is exaggerating it blah blah blah bullshit.

The point is he needs better bodyguards and the only way to make that happen is to contact Summit and that production company.

Wait, I remember the fans emailing Nick and getting on his butt last year when Rob didn't have any security. The fans made it happen then and he got security during the rest of the Twilight promotional tour.

So lets not brush this shit off and do nothing but make excuses. Lets face the fact that Rob's safety is fucking important and we as fans have a voice and money in this. So lets be real fans and get Rob the help that he needs.
